I honestly thought everyone would understand this to be the Romans. I underestimated how many people still blame the Jews. Which is how the Romans wanted it.

Since the revoltingly fake Christians of @realDailyWire are using this quote for Angry Right Wing White Guy Crack, it's worth pointing out that anti-Semites have always blamed exclusively The Jews for Jesus' execution.

Remember:

Arrested by Roman soldiers,
tortured by Roman governor,
executed on Roman orders
with a Roman cross
- aka “the Jews did it.”

And we know this,
bc the Romans wrote it that way
when they took over Jesus’ movement
& translated the Bible.

The Daily Wire chaps have a rough time, trying to distance themselves from Trump while constantly defending Trump, carrying water for Trump, and endearing themselves to Trump's audience.

Just remember - it's not possible to follow both Trump & Jesus. Anyone who says you can has read neither of their books.

But America's where the right wing got Christians to vote against all actual teachings of Christ by screaming about abortion, which Christ doesn't mention.

Anti-Semites are still pushing "the Jews killed Jesus" while ignoring the fact that Jesus died a Jew - and a hardcore reform one at that.

I've always viewed it differently - that in the story, everyone kills Jesus...

The whole point of the story is that Jesus is sold out by almost everyone - his friends who deny him, the conservative religious bosses threatened by his movement, the authoritarian government; the crowds who cheered him as a hero on Palm Sunday & condemned him by Thursday.

I view it like a game of blackjack:

When the hand came down,
Jesus surrendered
The Romans hit
Judas doubled doubled down
and Peter split.

And Jesus forgives everybody.

But again, as @realdailywire must distort, the original point is that Jesus is not white.

And somehow, I suspect if I'd said "the only Europeans in the Bible are the ones who executed Jesus" they'd be distorting in equally bad faith.

Because again, there's not a single teaching of Jesus that Trump has ever fought for.

Trump's president bc the GOP has spent 40 years getting Christians to care more about abortion than what the Gospels actually contain.

Ask your Grab Em By The Pussy Christian loved ones to cite a single teaching of Jesus they didn't toss when they voted Caligula.

The only thing Trump has in common with Jesus is that they both hung out w/hookers & they both used ghost writers.
